Dipyrrin complexes and their uses as self assembling materials
Several series of BODIPYs bearing mesogenic substituents were synthesised and their fluorescence and liquid crystal properties were characterized. Each compound prepared consisted of one BODIPY fluorophore and one, two or three mesogenic units based primarily on a cyanobiphenyl core. Initially, the …

Stimuli-responsive self-assembling materials comprising amphiphilic copolymers for localized remotely triggered therapeutic delivery
The ability to introduce therapeutic at a specified location and time to a healing traumatic wound deep within the body by external non-invasive stimulus could provide great long-term benefit to patients. In this work, we have examined systems consisting of or including amphiphilic copolymers …

Single molecule studies of polymers and self-assembling materials: Effects of chain topology and entanglements
… the dynamics of polymer solutions and functional materials in nonequilibrium flow conditions is of key importance for controlling materials properties during processing, which often involves highly nonequilibrium states that cannot be understood in terms of equilibrium principles or …

Dynamics characterization for designing functional soft materials
In solutions, the dynamic behavior of soft materials is often critical to their function. In biological materials such as proteins and peptides, the edict that 'structure dictates function' has been supplanted in recent decades by recognition that features like intrinsic disorder, conformational …

Interfacial self-assemblies of surfactants at water-oil interfaces
The generation of novel synthetic materials with functionality and hierarchical ordering is a major focus of current studies in materials science and engineering. Self-assembling amphiphilic materials (such as lipids or surfactants) are an important subgroup of colloids and soft matter and are …

Metal-Organic Frameworks as a Platform for Therapeutic Delivery
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous self-assembling materials composed of inorganic nodes and organic linkers, and are currently used for catalysis, gas separation, and gas storage. They have recently been applied to drug delivery because of their large pore sizes and highly modifiable …
